Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console
The console is configured the same way it is configured in a single repeater installation,
except that the repeater ID must be set for all repeated stations.
On the Console in Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs:
1. Find the Transmitter IDs transmitting through the repeater, and if the station is not
already turned on with its station type selected, do so now. Turn the station on by
pressing the up arrow (+) until “ON” displays on the screen. Change the station type
by pressing GRAPH until the correct station type displays.
2. Press 2ND and then press WIND to enter Repeater Setup Mode and to select or
deselect a repeater ID. Once the console is in the Repeater Setup Mode, subsequent
pressing of WIND continue to cycle through the all the repeater IDs.
3. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle to the desired repeater ID or to turn off the repeater
ID in the right hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is configured
to listen directly to a station and not to a repeater.
Note: If a transmitter ID is turned off, pressing WIND or 2ND and WIND will not display the repeater ID.
4. Turn on the repeater function and display the repeater ID information for the selected
transmitter.
In this example, the console is set up to receive a temperature station with transmitter
ID 2 from repeater A.
5. Continue selecting, turning on, and enabling the repeater for each transmitter in the
network.
6. Press DONE to continue to other screens in Setup Mode, or press and hold DONE to
return to Current Weather Mode.
Note: See the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual for more information on the screens in the Setup Mode if
necessary.
To verify that setup was successful, in the console’s Current Weather Mode:
View the transmitter information displaying at the bottom of the console screen.
If an “X” flashes in the bottom right-hand corner of the ticker tape, the ISS is being
repeated and received by the console successfully. Use the console’s radio diagnostic
screens to see the status of each transmitter ID. (Press and hold TEMP then press
HUM to display the statistical diagnostic screen. Press the > to display signal statistics
for the next transmitter ID.)
